How can i disable this feature. As i made N++ my default editor i have "Edit" for files like html, php, css and others i use and i don't need "Edit whit Notepad++" for them or anything else. I've found nppIExplorerShell.exe which i think has to fix my problem but it doesn't work as i expected... I tried to edit registry for this but have'nt find any mentions of "Edit with N++". Of course i can remove this menu item for every type of files but... but there are about few hundreds of file types.

A quick way to disable it would be: navigate in Windows Explorer to the Notepad++ installation directory. Rename nppcm.dll (it probably stands for Notepad++ Context Menu) to something like nppcm.dllx. Close all instances of Windows Explorer.
Now when you reopen Windows Explorer, the "Edit with Notepad++" will not be there.
The better way (I think) would be to re-install Notepad++ (either after uninstalling or after the rename operation mentioned above) and uncheck the "Context Menu Entry" component. --Joel

I can't do anything with this file because it is used by some process which some popup says about. It would be nice to do it, but i can't... And i even don't know how to shiut down this process which uses this dll

My tip was for Windows XP. If you are running Vista, I would think uninstalling Notepad++ and then re-installing it with the "Context Menu Entry" component UNchecked.
If you are running XP, you should be able to "rename nppcm.dll" even though it is being used by another process. Single-click on the file in Windows Explorer to select it. Wait a brief moment, then click on the filename again in a slightly different place (we're not trying to launch it here). This will put the filename in an edit box to permit you to rename it.
If that doesn't work for you for whatever reason, then the last resort would be the Vista suggestion above. --Joel
